A new fleet of all-electric, zero-emission buses is replacing the diesel-powered green trolleys.

TARC now has two charging stations, one at South Third and York streets and the other on Market between Eighth and Ninth streets.

“It will run for 30 miles and then it needs to be charged, so essentially we're going to start out with is once every loop it's going pull in and charge. So it will take less than 10 minutes to recharge it. It won't need a full charge and it will just keep on going so it gets a little juice every time it comes by here and away it will go,” said TARC Executive Director Barry Barker.

TARC purchased the zero-emission buses with help from state and federal grants.
